This Nrich task is an unusual way to explore number patterns in a well-known context. The activity will reinforce the construction of the hundred square, and increase children's familiarity with the sequences contained within it. Using a common resource, such as a hundred square, is a good way for children to begin to use visualisation, which they may find quite difficult at first. The act of visualising in this problem tests children's understanding of how the number square is created.

Reimagining mathematics instruction can be a heavy lift. Most teachers have years of traditional mathematics instruction under their belts by the time they enter their professional careers. Chapter 4 of EL Education’s book Learning that Lasts explores two critical strategies for improving mathematics instruction—changing mindsets about mathematics; and remodeling the basic lesson structure for mathematics. This reimagination leads to mathematics instruction that is more challenging, engaging, and empowering for students as well as teachers.
